I just got a 436c up and running from some spare bits I had lying around.
I put a square wave into the unit and get a response which angles up to the leading edge. 2 books I have say that the bass is leading phase wise when this happens.
The compressor sounds OK to my cloth ears.
I'm just trying to get a handle on whether this is necessarily a bad thing ? How does it affect the sound ? Is it just colouration ?
All the books I have explain how to test if this phase shift is taking place but don't seem to evaluate it !
Maybe some light can be shed on this topic ?
